Look, both served their country/well iffy 90s visitor attraction with great valour, surely this is enough to end this particularly daft culture war row?

Niche this, only true east Kent heads will know...

If we are in fact living through the opening phases of a third world war, this sort of stuff is going to be fantastic comic colour for future historians (providing it doesn't go nuclear)

🌊 Opening of country’s biggest beach spa to put town on the sauna map Plus: Convenience store could lose booze licence over sale to teenage girl, and work begins on renovation of former Debenhams building

Folkestone is now home to what has been billed as 'the UK’s largest beach spa' and it opens to the public this weekend. We met the co-founder of Sea Scrub Sauna to find out more...

Imagine thinking 'I want to be a journalist' and then ending up pumping out this shite for little more than minimum wage, my god

1/10 If the last few days of Iranian strikes on Dubai have proven anything, it’s that a massive number of people completely despise the city and those living there.

And honestly? There are very good reasons to despise them.

A thread on the city of hypocrites 🧵👇

🚄 Train feels the strain as Folkestone passenger numbers soar Plus: Thousands of lorries could be taken off roads and onto rails, and massive town centre regeneration scheme passes halfway mark

In the first of a two-part special report, we reveal results of our survey of rail passengers about the state of services from Folkestone...

Hannah Spencer walking into Westminster, sucking her teeth, tutting, and muttering "tell you what, you've had some cowboys in here."

Two bald men have ended their fight over a comb. For now.

And, lo, 400-odd words appeared - as if by some divine intervention - and there was great rejoicing

I dearly wish I could write anything without an impending, immovable deadline. Wednesday Rhys could make Tuesday Rhys very happy indeed, but will he?

As we have now slipped from Wednesday morning into Wednesday afternoon, and the sun is actually shining outside, I worry the answer is no

Multiple times between McLaughlin and Stevens Creek

This says something about my marriage that I won't explain, but it took place within a short distance from Interstate 280

Something very British about our wannabe fascist dictator being the guy who messed up running Southampton football club.

If you loved the last conservative government this looks like the team for you

Brilliant stuff, best of luck!

This is why I try to make the @folkestonedispatch.substack.com more about hope and positivity than anger and division. A different lens is possible...

The same people who lord the bravery of the war generation now seek publicity by pretending to have pissed their pants in London at the sight of something totally unremarkable in the hope of scaring people who don't live there - as if competitive wimpering is a vote winner. Absolutely pathetic.

My partner has two passports, and always enters and leaves the relevant country on the relevant doc, this seems to be a mad thing for people to be upset about. You travel, you get a passport, not really difficult to grasp
